TROUBLESHOOTING
TWO WAYS TO CALCULATE COLORING COSTS
SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY
Color Variation Shot-to-Shot
Poor Omnicolor preblending
Pigment has insufficient
thermal stability
More thorough blending
Ensure correct machine
temperature control
Screw Slip
Premature melting of Omnicolor
Excessive addition rate
Reduce heat in feed zone
Check addition rate and reduce
if necessary
Overall Good Distributive
Mixing With Streaks or Dots
of Another Color
Poor pigment dispersion in
concentrate
Return concentrate for
replacement
Black Streaks or Splotches Degraded polymer in barrel Clean screw and barrel
Poor Distributive Mixing
(Streaking) Insufficient plastification See processing instructions
Loss of Color Pigment has insufficient
thermal stability
